Mike White is starting against Houston

[South_Florida_Flip]

 

 

It really doesn't matter, but, didn't I read a story on White saying that Scott had been recruiting him, but, Skip was on the fence and never really offered him even though Scott thought he had the talent? Then, Scott brought the video to Taggart on day 1 and Tags made the decision to offer the kid?

 

Vaguely remember something like that in the story. Obviously Skip wasn't completely against him, allowing Scott to spend time on him, but, he was sitting on the sidelines, stroking the timeouts in his pocket.

White was offered two hours after Taggart was hired.  That doesn't happen if the staff wasn't ready to offer him.  He thought the hiring of Taggart might mean USF was no longer an option.  Call him a Taggart recruit if it makes you feel better, I don't see it.

 

I think it's pretty simple. You can't be called a recruit until you're offered and signed. Holtz hadn't offered. CWT did.

 

 

BINGO!!

So whats it called when the coach brings you onto campus for a visit even without a scholarship offer? Can the coach just hand you envelopes full of cash since you're not a recruit? CWT is allowed to spend his money anyway he wants. If he wants to just hand out $100 bills to kids who happen to be on campus, thats his prerogative.

The staff spent many hours working on him under Holtz and seconds under Taggart, but Taggart said "Sure give him the official offer you've already prepared and had sitting in your desk for weeks", and that makes him a Taggart recruit.

 

Like I said, if that makes you feel better.

According to you, then, VHIII and Nelson Agholor were Holtz recruits ...

And wouldn't the recruiting process end with signing rather than begin? Once you're signed, you're not actually being recruited anymore.

I think you guys are missing the point.    White was never coached by Skip Holtz, so that makes him a Taggart guy.   It's the same reason we all viewed B.J. as Leavitts guy still even after he was gone.   As long as White has'nt been tainted by Skip Holtz's awful coaching then I really could'nt care less who recruited him.
